The seasons are created by the tilt, 23.5 degrees, of the Earth’s axis and the position of the Earth in terms of its revolution around the Sun. A hemisphere will experience summer when it is tilted towards the Sun, while the other hemisphere experiences winter. If a hemisphere is tilted towards the Sun, it is receiving more sunlight and therefore it must be summer. This works the other way around as well; if a hemisphere is tilted away from the Sun, it is receiving less sunlight and therefore it is winter. At the end of the day, the seasons exist because of the Earth’s tilted axis and its revolutions around the Sun.…
This means it turns away much of the sun’s heat and light before it can begin raising household temperatures. Moreover, in colder climates, it…
The Chicago heat wave of 1995 was the worst summer chicago has ever seen. It was caused by a heat dome that formed over Chicago. It effected over 700 deaths in Chicago because of the heat. It changed the lives in Chicago to be more careful. Who knows maybe there’ll be a even hotter summer thanks to global warming.…
Over the course of the last couple of years, weather patterns have exceedingly changed due to climate change. Overall, climate change is seen as a very controversial issue because some people believe that climate change is a legitimate issue and has been directly caused by humans, while others believe that the weather changes are just natural processes that should be expected to change from time to time and that climate change has absolutely nothing to do with the recent temperature changes that the world has been going through. However, climate change has been proven to be the leading cause of changing weather patterns all over the world, as well as the start of the El Niño effect, which is a series of climatic changes in the Pacific Ocean…
In Utah, there are differences in temperature with altitude and with latitude. The mountains and the valleys have cooler temperatures and the lower areas of the state have the higher temperatures. It’s an uncommon occurrence for Utah to experience during winter and pre spring below zero temperatures or extremely cold winters. Kevin, it’s probably frustrating to experience a vast range of temperatures every day. The most convenience measure is to dress in layers because mornings can start cool, later become extremely hot, and usually the nights are very cool.…

Because of rising global temperatures, people all over the planet are plagued by rising sea levels, melting Arctic sea ice, melting glaciers and permafrost, rising sea-surface temperatures, warming lake temperatures, heavier rainfall causing flooding, extreme drought increasing, withering crops, changing ecosystems, changes in the frequency and strength of hurricanes, human health being affected by warmer temperatures, and sea water becoming more acidic. So how does this affect Las Vegas and Clark County? First, Clark County is located in the Mojave Desert, and has a subtropical desert climate. Second, Lake Mead is located in Clark County and is a major source of water supply not only for Nevada, but also for Southern California and Arizona.…
In this paper I will discuss whether the Chicago Heat Wave as written about in Heat Wave: A Social Autopsy of Disaster in Chicago by Eric Klinenberg, is best defined as a social or natural disaster. Klinenberg talks about each as a possible explanation for the Chicago Heat Wave. Like Klinenberg I believe that the Chicago Heat Wave was a natural disaster, there were record temperatures and the city could do little in defense when faced with situations like this. However, this explanation does not account for why so many people died or why some areas or sorts of people had higher rates than others, for this reason I believe the Heat Wave is better defined as a social disaster.…

Rainstorms may become more frequent and intense if greenhouse gas emissions remain at current levels.” This could potentially lead to catastrophic events. It could harm towns that are not built to withstand such storms. And in order for them to cope they would need to spend money in order to renovate the town and the buildings that could face threat to the weather. Climate change affects everyone.…

The Goldilocks Season Most people are like Goldilocks. Some things are too cold, somethings are too hot, and somethings may be just right. We’re very fortunate to live in New Jersey where no matter what your preference may be, there’s always a season for you to enjoy. Whether you prefer to be basking in the sun at the beach, building a snowman, or perhaps picking daisies in the meadow, there’s one season I believe comes out on top of all these. That season is no other than fall.…
Other variations like the tilt and precession of Earth also affects the natural warming and cooling process of the climate. The Earth’s angle determines the intensity of the season changes. For example, if the planet has an increasing axial tilt, the contrast increases so the summer would be warmer and winter will be colder. Precession is the wobbling of the Earth on its axis back and forth. It determines how long or short the seasons would be.…
